Just got off the phone with Brian. He’s gotta make a few simple adjustments on the next FIRST WAVE script. • Gotta call Rags Morales. Let him know everybody in the office is slapping me on the back for the looks of the first issue, as if I drew it. Might as well ring him up and share the, er, credit. • Gotta call Nei Ruffino, same reason. • Pardon my sharing my “to-do” list like this, but it’s the only way I can remember it all. • Gotta call Howard Porter, make sure we’re getting more DOC SAVAGE pages like the one here. dsav-101600 • Gotta call Paul Malmont, thank him for calling me “legendary” in a recent interview (Is that a nice way of saying I’m history?), and ask after the next DOC rewrite. • Gotta call Moritat and thank him and Gabriel Bautista for the amazing SPIRIT #1 art job. spirit_001_pg01_done • Gotta call Bill Sienkiewicz to see the first phenomenal SPIRIT BLACK AND WHITE story. • Gotta call Kyle Baker to see if he called Harlan Ellison about the second one. Wait, do I have that backward? • Gotta make sure that everybody’s still jazzed about seeing “The Bat-Man” in FIRST WAVE and that he’s in it enough. • Jeez! That means I gotta call Brian again!
